Cafors sleeps 4

This is a 16th Century historic village house in Chelsworth - a very pretty riverside village close to Lavenham - the cottage easily accommodates 2 couples and has many beautiful original features with 2 double bedrooms and a small enclosed garden.

Cafors was built in the 16th Century and its name mean the house by the river bridge, inside it is clearly apparent that this was once a much larger and grander house as the massive sculptured beams and Tudor wood panelled sitting room shows.

The farmhouse kitchen is very well equipped with electric cooking hob and oven, a microwave and a dishwasher. The room is very cosy with a wealth of ancient beams and a sunny outlook onto the small enclosed garden.

The sitting room has a massive inglenook fireplace and a very efficient log burning stove, the ceiling is very high denoting the importance of this building and 2 of the walls have early Tudor wood panelling to the ceiling.

A hidden door in the panelling opens up to a small winding staircase (with grab handles), which leads up to 2 separate double bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath.

Outside there is a very sunny, small private garden with a BBQ and seating. The owner has thoughtfully provided a range of herbs for you to use.

The village of Chelsworth is famous for it's Open Gardens Days each June and the whole village is closed to traffic - people come from abroad to see what is a marvellous display of quintessential English Cottage Gardens at their best.

Chelsworth is one of 3 tiny villages on the river Brett linking the picturesque medieval villages of Lavenham and Bildeston, it is little more than a string of ancient pretty cottages mainly on one side of the road facing the water meadows and the church, but there is an excellent pub there.

There are lovely walks around the meadows and up the river valleys straight from the cottage and the official Suffolk Cycle Route passes by the cottage - bikes are freely provided.

Cafors is a lovely place to relax into and to enjoy the beautiful surrounding English countryside.

Pets are welcome (by arrangement) and all prices include Vat, towels, linen, heating, and a generous `Proper English Breakfast' Welcome Pack.
